TEST DRIVE MEME
Dark Paradise Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
You awaken slightly disoriented on a beautiful, smooth stone floor. A look around will tell you that this place is a hilltop temple with a good view of the beautiful city below. On opposite sides of the temple are genderless depictions of deities. One is clearly powerful, made of onyx, held up in an imposing stance with one hand holding a gilded flogger and the other outstretched with an open palm as if to enforce a command. The other, made of polished white marble, has taken a knee to the dominant statue across from them. One of their hands is a vase for fresh flowers and you can see that new ones have been placed there today.

The music of an unseen harp begins to play and a golden light permeates the temple. Suddenly, you know what is happening here. The duality that is worshipped here, the figures in the temple, they have a name. The onyx one is Ceannasach and the marble one is Cuiristeach and together with their combined power they are the ones who have brought you to Parthas.

What is Parthas? Parthas is paradise! You have either been brought here because Ceannasach believes you contribute to your world in some glorious way and deserve to be honored and served or because Cuiristeach believes that you would be excellent in a service role, perhaps they even feel sorry for the state of your life back home and want to show you something better.

The deities here also brought you because they need lik which is the energy that allows them to exist. Lik is created in small amounts when you interact with other people, in greater amounts when you grow fond of certain people, and in greater still amounts when you begin to use physical affection. However, when you orgasm, that creates the purest form of lik there is.

Ceannasach and Cuiristeach reward you in a special way. When you have sex with your soulmate or your hjarta, your vördr, or spirit, leaves your body in a time-frozen moment to commune with the deities and ask for something big or small that you might like. Sex carries on as usual and only you will know that you asked for something. If you ask to be sent home, the deities will send you into a hyperaroused state when you least expect it. Hey, you offended them.

The deities also believe you should know of something they have placed in Parthas for your benefit. There is a river in a valley in the middle of housing that will give and take anything you like from your body if you should so wish. This can mean a illness, sadness, a memory or anything else, but be careful because this river runs on fickle magic.

As the harp music continues, you become aware of a new power of yours. You can hear any thought that any other person sends your way, even the ones sent accidentally, and you can see images and moving pictures, as well. Don’t limit yourself to one person! Send that thought to everyone!

The harp music comes to an eventual end and you are left with the knowledge the deities gave you. Your intuition leads you down a southbound path towards a city where a celebration seems to be taking place, if the colorful banners are any indicator. Welcome to Parthas!


Colors You're dripping like a saturated sunrise
Just as there was last month, there is a very important celebration happening this month, as well. Banners for Ostara hang all around the town and people have set up benches where they can decorate infertile hen’s eggs with edible paint. If you want to join in on that, it’ll be a single gold piece for a dozen eggs you can take home and eat.

People all around the city stand making quick snacks of their eggs, some salting them as they eat them as they are, little nuggets of protein that seem to give them an incredible, visible glow and more vitality than the city’s finest horses.

What no one is saying is that these eggs give you a more than healthy libido. Catch natives washing their eggs down with strong-flavored, pleasant tasting teas only to go out and kiss one of their neighbors. The teas, made from rare ingredients, are available a stands for two gold pieces a pop. Otherwise, enjoy that delicious egg taste when you lock lips.


Chandelier One, two, three, one, two, three, drink; Throw 'em back 'til I lose count
At Where The Wild Roses Grow, they have undergone a serious cleaning per the City’s request and opened up their steamy salt baths for couples. When you walk into this opulent establishment, sometimes you’ll see girls wearing nothing more than body jewelry. They’ll be the ones serving you champagne and hard-boiled eggs, always brightly colored.

The water is warm and soothing and E’Ara has sprinkled some of her favorite bath oils into the water to get you lovers smelling divine. The waters are drained and the tub is washed after each use.

Did we mention there’s free champagne?


More And when you decide it's your time to arrive...
You have been cordially invited to a night of dancing by the light of the sunset. The best food you’ve ever smelled is laid out on a table behind the dancefloor flanked by punchbowls and there are some weird chalk runes on the dancefloor that seem to have a faint glow. It’s a party, though, right? Once you start drinking that punch you won’t care about those runes at all. The only thing you’ll want to do is dance. Throw your head back, kick up your heels, and by all means, keep a hand on your belly. That’s not part of a ritual or anything.

Once the sun sets you’ll be exhausted and hungry. Dig into that food. Eat. Eat a LOT. Eat like a guy at a hot dog eating contest. You still won’t feel disgustingly overfilled, merely sated. After all, you’ve eaten plenty for yourself and the one inside of you.

NOTE: This is not a typical pregnancy plot. The details given in the FAQ still hold true. This plot will culminate in-game next month in an event.


This Is What Makes Us Girls And that's where the beginning of the end begun; Everybody knew that we had too much fun
With some people waking up today with baby bumps, whether man or woman, South City is a bit chaotic. People are all about buying ginger teas and maternity clothes and claiming their government stipend of 1,000 gold pieces for… whatever this is. The city is a mess, so most smart people are sticking to the neighborhoods.

Sam is out peddling icees and hot pretzels from his food cart through the neighborhood streets. There’s a strange woman in a rain parka wandering the neighborhood talking about the storm to come. On some street corners, musicians have gathered to play pleasant tunes.

The Temple Priests, however, are out and about telling everyone to get in touch with their feminine side. You’d better come up with a creative way to do that or else lose favor with the gods!

"The Capital Wasteland. It's where I'm from," she began. She glanced down at her Pip-Boy. "Last I knew it was 2281 and the world was still screwed."

She thought about things for a moment. This wasn't the Wasteland and it would be safe to say that others would be from different places. She might not be the smartest girl around but she could still piece things together.

"It's a bit of a long story but to put it simply a couple hundred years ago the world went to hell. Nuclear apocalypse. I'm just trying to survive in it."

The first part doesn't ring a bell, but then she cites the year and it makes a little more sense. Hell of a lot further than he is, for starters.

"Nuclear apocalypse, huh? Shit, and I thought it was bad enough dealing with Infected."

"Infected?" Now it was her turn to ask things. She moved a short distance away, enough to still be able to communicate, but also enough to give the illusion of privacy. Clothes started to come off. Starting with the tattered leather coat and then moving down to the odd looking pistol holstered on her leg. Bit by bit her clothes came off and he could see the scars on her back and the ones that crisscrossed her arms.

She quickly began to scrub at bits of her. She was used to scrubbing quickly whenever she had a chance.
